CIM-XML HOST element can contain the protocol and port information beside the host address. e.g:
"https://ibm.com:5988"
Some CIMOMs can send IPv6 addresses without enclosing brackets (not well formed IPv6 URL). e.g.:
"10d0::2034:1015"
Client should be able to parse it. Of course protocol and port cannot be contained by the string in this case.
